Nic Moore/ 5-9 guard, Winona Lake, Ind./ Moore, a transfer from Illinois State, is a dynamic player capable of taking control of games. The 5-9 point guard can set-up or score, penetrate or hit the three. He leads the team averaging 13.8 points and 4.7 assists, and is shooting 49.3 from the field and 85.5 from the foul line. "Moore is a great player," Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley said. "I would compare him favorably to one of the best point guards in the country, Chaz Williams [of Massachusetts]."

ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla recently joined Tim Cowlishaw and Matt Mosley on The Afternoon Show on KESN-FM. Here are some highlights.

On SMU being ranked in the top-25:

“I honestly never thought I’d see the day, after 12 years,
to see what’s going on in Moody right now. I thought it could be a good
program. I don’t think this is an aberration necessarily. It’s fun to see. I
was at the Temple
game the other night. It’s great to see. It’s great for sports in Dallas. The job Coach
(Larry) Brown is doing is incredible. It’s fun. As a college basketball guy
living in Dallas,
it’s the ultimate to have a good team playing about a mile and a half from my
house.”
